Chester Fritz Library lists available services

The Chester Fritz Library will have the following services available while UND is operating remotely.

  1. Interlibrary Loan – Staff will work remotely and send electronic articles only.  No physical items will be retrieved or sent. All ILL due dates will be extended as needed; no one is expected to return items while the building is closed.
  2. Reference & Research Assistance – We’re working out phone and 24/7 chat reference shifts. We can also, by appointment, do video research appointments. We are creating new/additional LibGuides to share information on COVID-19.
  3. Archives – Staff in the archives are working on metadata processing for digital collections, remotely. Any inquiries that come in via email or phone will be handled in much the same way they were when we had to close for the renovations.
  4. Technical Services – Most staff will be able to work remotely with cataloging, orders, etc. They may need to come in once a week or so to briefly pick up more items.
  5. Administration – No walk-in service, but phones and email will be answered.
  6. Circulation – All due dates will be extended. No fines will be levied.  Most services will cease temporarily, as they’re walk-in only.
